High schoolers examine the various populations that have made their home in the Tijuana Estuary. In groups, they read an article and note the name of each population, facts and what tools they used in a journal. They use colored...

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson plan, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

Students use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology instructional activity, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students observe geometric shapes in their everyday lives.  In this middle school/high school mathematics lesson plan, students use their cell phone to record and publish their observations about the geometric shapes they...

Students create two drawings for a new animal pen design at the zoo. They must draw the ideas keeping the amount of material available in mind. They compare and contrast their two designs and write how they are similar in perimeter and...

Young scholars need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Students enter a race against time to determine the maximum sized box that can be formed from a standard sheet of copy paper. The boxes are to be used to contain a valuable and rare element which is light as cotton and corrosive to all...

Pupils enhance fitness through the use of stations, working with another, and technology (e.g., digiwalkers).

Students participate in mapping an actual waterway. They include reach lengths, transects, compass reading, and scale determinations. They include windfalls, plant cover, types of streambed composition, and landmarks such as trees and...

Students reinforce and review dribbling skills taught in previous class lessons and compare their ability to dribble with different types of balls.

Sixth graders use number cubes to explore volume of two-dimensional shapes. They roll a die and construct a shape using the numbers rolled as measurements of the sides. They estimate the volume of a given object, and then use the...

Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.

Learners complete an activity to improve their spatial awareness and loco-motor skills. In this spatial and loco-motor skills instructional activity, students pass a beanbag down the line of learners.

Middle schoolers estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Young scholars, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

Young scholars study the techniques of building a bridge. They explore different type of bridges and then plan and build a bridge to specified instructions. Students draw plans, keep a budget, and prepare balance sheets during their...

Students demonstrate how a whale uses echolocation to track food and identify one other animal that also uses echolocation. In this echolocation lesson plan, students play a game where one child (the whale) is blindfolded and gives a...

Students dribble and trap a ball with their feet using control and different directions and pathways.

Fourth graders investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within...

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.
